Journalist divulges information he has been given on Nuno’s future with Nottingham Forest
Now that he’s been informed of Nuno Espirito Santo’s future at Nottingham Forest, Daniel Taylor has spoken out about it.
After taking over as head coach at Forest in December, the fifty-year-old managed to keep the team in the Premier League.
In his twenty-six games as manager, he presided over seven victories, two of which came in the last three games of the season.
Espirito Santo wasn’t secure at Forest, according to some recent claims from Fabrizio Romano; now, Taylor has shared what he heard.
Daniel Taylor discusses his knowledge of Nuno Espirito Santo.
Today, the journalist who supports Forest has been conducting a question-and-answer session similar to the one on The Athletic’s website.
Regarding Espirito Santo’s future, one of his supporters inquired, and Taylor has now elaborated on what he knows.
It would seem that things are looking up for Forest chief Espirito Santo—at least for the time being.
“I’ve been told Espirito Santo is staying at Forest, despite the recent flurry of speculation and rumors,” he stated to The Athletic. Still, it’s not quite that simple… It’s Forest, it’s football, and anything can happen. However, that’s my knowledge, and I’ll attempt to clarify some of the background.
To begin with, he benefits from the players’ liking of him. If you recall the article from Wolves, for instance, stating that he and Morgan Gibbs-White were not close, then he has performed admirably on that front.
There’s also a good deal of absurdity. According to one recent source, Marinakis gave Jorge Mendes instructions to locate him a new manager. Yes, we are aware that Nuno is a Mendes customer, right?
“In certain matches, Nuno has made some dubious choices. The outcomes haven’t been great, and I don’t think Oliver Glasner’s outstanding work at Crystal Palace—who faced Nuno in a competition for the position—has helped much either.
Head coach should play for Forest the entire season.
For what it’s worth, we think Espirito Santo ought to be given time at Forest as well, considering that Cooper was given a couple terrible runs in the Premier League.
In the end, the former manager of Tottenham and Wolves is a seasoned coach, and he merits a complete preseason.
In addition, he deserves the opportunity to select his own players since he wants to provide balance to the team.
It’s not like Forest needs another turbulent summer, and Espirito Santo will have a soothing effect on the team’s locker room come season.
Evangelos Marinakis could argue to fire him if he does make his own plans and things don’t improve for the upcoming season.
However, with Espirito Santo, Forest is safer than it would be without him for the time being.
